Okay so these are popular hairstyles of the past 20 years, which one of these wins as the most stylistically unique or visually appealing hairstyles.

2006: Once again 2006 leans even heavier on emo, with the fawhawk being the most prominent style for adults above 21.

Most kids and teens rocked the long emo mop top.

2016: I’d argue that this was when the hipster undercut and man bun started to overstay its welcome. Jacob Sartorious haircut would start to takeover the rest of the decade, especially with teens and early twenties, the same goes for dreadlocks that got a major push due to soundcloud rap’s popularity.

2026: In 2026 we see different varieties in hairstyles, with a continued popularity of the 90s curtain bangs and the 80s mullet and moustache combo. We’re also seeing a more streamlined look with young kids and teens and that’s the modern shag and pookie haircut often with a taper fade.

Dreads are even more popular now with thicker twists.

Which era stands out the most.

Once again the hairstyles I put up are ones that stood out the most, plus not everything can fit.

Okay so these are popular hairstyles of the past 20 years, which one of these wins as the most stylistically unique or visually appealing hairstyles.

2006: Heavy emo and or 70s boho influence, the most stand out aspect of the decade is the overly chopped and side swept bangs with chunky highlights.

2016: This was during the whole tumblr phase, messy buns, pastel pink, undercuts and long or short wavy hair often in ombré. For the African American community there was a huge push for the natural look hence the return of locks.

2026: The modern era is that of revivals, but the most stand out aspect is the slick back bun considering the 2020s is drenched in grunge inspired, haircuts the slick back (clean girl) look has become a massive go to for the 18-34 crowd.

Everything else is heavily influenced by older alternative styles, kinda blending together grunge, punk and emotional hardcore.

Which era stands out the most.

These are shows that I watched a lot growing up, but when I tell my fellow zillennials, have they ever heard of these shows they get confused. I just think I’m alone on this one has anyone here ever seen any of these shows growing up or was it just me… it’s just me right?

From roughly the turn of the millennium (1997-2003), raunchy and ballsy took over pop culture in a big way. From music to movies to TV and video games and so on, but I want to know why that happened.

I’d also like to know why it went away but my guess would obviously be the internet like most trends, everything seemed to just switch online. As a side note, before the latter half of the 90s, extreme sports and grunge culture took over the mainstream so it was likely what may of also resulted to this trend.
